        I've encountered this many times and it's very frustrating to deal with - how do you confront fixed false beliefs then? Data appeals to me

        We are on the verge of a measles outbreak in TX due to low vaccination rates caused by anti-vaxx campaigns. It's sickening.

        Confirmation bias needs to be addressed starting in elementary school. Please support media literacy education. It's critical to future.

        As @JonHaidt would say, u need to address the elephant and not the rider! Cognitive arguments don't help in belief based discourse.

        When performed well science questions itself whereas religious dogma and mind sets rarely do. why "persuading" the science denier fails.

        Yup. If you fear data will pop your bubble, more data will wash away the whole lot. We need to *teach* critical thinking first.
